Chapter 77: Is this scary? Isn’t this normal? "...
Jiang Ci answered without hesitation, "It's harder to appease her when she's angry, and it causes me some trouble."
Yu Xiang sighed: "You deserve it then."
Jiang Ci raised the corner of his mouth: "I don't deny this."
With this little episode, Yu Xiang's mood obviously brightened up, and he simply stopped worrying about it - he believed that Jiang Ci could handle it.
Besides, there are always people better than you. It wouldn’t be surprising even if someone better than Jiang Ci appeared one day. After all, it was enough for him to think that his boyfriend was the best.
Anyway, no matter what, at least he has convinced himself now, and can rush into the cafeteria to eat with confidence.
This good mood lasted until the physical examination the next day.
Although Jiang Ci had said that yesterday, Yu Xiang still felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him to be so afraid of needles and blood at such a grown-up. He wanted to bite the bullet and try to be independent -
Li Mingsheng, who was about to receive the injection, said: "Sister Nurse, you are so kind and beautiful. Please be gentler. I am afraid of the pain... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!!"
Yu Xiang's legs went weak and he began to feel dizzy when he saw the needle in the nurse's hand. After hearing Li Mingsheng's wailing, he instinctively retreated three feet away. Chen Jianmin and Tao Yu couldn't call him back. "Xiao Yu, where are you going? It's your turn soon!"
Yu Xiang jumped directly to the end of the line: "I'm going to make a call, you guys go first!"
——
Jiang Ci came very quickly.
"It's almost our class's turn. I've asked the counselor for permission to come over for the physical examination first, and I can accompany you," he said.
Yu Xiang asked in surprise, "Why would your instructor agree to this kind of...special behavior?"
"Under certain conditions." Jiang Ci replied calmly.
Yu Xiang immediately put on an "I knew it" expression: "He's making you work like a slave again?"
"Should this be considered as my responsibility? As a class leader, I should help organize the team and maintain order." Jiang Ci said after thinking about it.
"That's a high-grade cattle and horse." Yu Xiang concluded.
Jiang Ci casually ruffled Yu Xiang's soft black hair: "Whatever you say is what it is."
Yu Xiang immediately protected his head: "You're rubbing your sweat! Is your mysophobia gone again?"
"It's okay, it's done."
It turned out that the medical staff sent by the hospital were very efficient. After just a few minutes, the number of people ahead of Yu Xiang and his team became fewer and fewer.
As he got closer and closer to the nurses and the test tubes filled with blood, Yu Xiang became more and more nervous. He lost interest in arguing with Jiang Ci and even tried to use the same trick again to slip to the back of the line.
But this time, it didn't work. Jiang Ci quickly grabbed him and brought him back. In a voice only the two of them could hear clearly, he said to him, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Yu Xiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
In order not to delay the people behind him, when it was almost their turn, Jiang Ci switched seats with him, finished having his blood drawn first, and then acted as a human pillow for Yu Xiang as before.
"It may be a little painful, just bear with it." Jiang Ci didn't frown during the whole process, but he said this to Yu Xiang after the injection.
After Yu Xiang sat down, the nurse who was drawing his blood noticed something was wrong: "Fainting at blood?"
He nodded, and added dryly, "I'm also afraid of needles."
The young nurse was also quite the jokester. "You've got all the buffs stacked up. It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of. That handsome guy in the back is with you, right? Just focus on him and don't turn around. I'll try to be gentle. I was in a hurry just now, so I might have been a little careless."
The implication is probably "It's annoying enough to go to work, and now I have to deal with so many people, and if they all want me to be gentle, then I'll never be able to get off work."
Yu Xiang finally understood why Jiang Ci had said "it might be a little painful" just now.
If Li Mingsheng were still here and heard this, he would probably complain: "Sister, you weren't like that just now!"
"Let's start now that you're ready?" the nurse asked him.
In fact, Yu Xiang, who was not fully prepared, pursed his lips. Not wanting to delay other people's work progress, he finally nodded reluctantly, and then turned his head to the side without any hesitation. The hand that did not need the acupuncture was held by Jiang Ci.
The familiar and reassuring scent was so close that it diverted half of his attention, but the fear deep in his heart was still difficult to eliminate.
"Clench your fists." The nurse's instructions came from behind.
Yu Xiang was so nervous that his hands and legs felt weak, but he still did as he was told. He clenched his fists with all his strength and buried his face in Jiang Ci's chest.
The noise around seemed to gradually die down, replaced by Jiang Ci's steady and strong heartbeat.
He was still in a trance until Jiang Ci helped him hold the cotton swab to stop the bleeding with one hand and took him to a nearby rest area to sit down with the other hand.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Ci asked in a gentle voice.
"No." Yu Xiang shook his head and lowered his head to look at his arm.
"Don't look at it. There will be some on the cotton swab."
Yu Xiang obediently turned his gaze away.
Yu Xiang can complete the remaining projects by himself, but since Jiang Ci has come, there is absolutely no reason for him to leave.
After they completed all the physical examinations together, they met Yu Xiang’s roommates who had already finished on the way to the meeting place.
"Xiao Yu——" Tao Yu greeted him enthusiastically, "Here!"
Chen Jianmin: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you here just now? Hey, is my godfather here too?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Ci was obviously dissatisfied with this name and cleared his throat unnaturally. "Just call me by my name."
"Have everyone else arrived?" Yu Xiang asked Li Mingsheng beside him.
"Not yet. There's still about ten minutes until the gathering time. Everyone's huddled in the milk tea shop enjoying the air conditioning." Li Mingsheng said, then turned his gaze to Jiang Ci. "Xiao Yu was waiting in line just now, but suddenly he jumped to the end of the line and said he wanted to make a phone call. Could he be calling you?"
Chen Jianmin looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't this obvious? What's there to ask?"
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Well... have you two seen the school wall?"
Yu Xiang was confused: "No, so what happened?"
Li Mingsheng seemed relieved after hearing this answer: "It's good that you didn't see it. Don't watch it, it's too weird."
Yu Xiang was even more confused: "Huh?"
Jiang Ci remained as calm as ever: "You can just say it directly."
"Hey, it's nothing, actually. It's just…" Li Mingsheng paused, composing his words before continuing, "Although there were already a bunch of people trying to get you guys on the campus wall yesterday—you're so handsome, after all, hahaha. But someone just filmed you two getting a physical together, so a scary group of people appeared."
Yu Xiang's heartbeat slowed down, and he couldn't help but start to get nervous: "What terrifying group?"
Although he had never intended to hide the fact that he and Jiang Ci were in a relationship, he also didn't want people to gossip about them behind their backs.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want this to have any negative impact on him and Jiang Ci.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Ci, wanting to know his attitude.
Jiang Ci's expression seemed unchanged, he remained calm, which was consistent with his personal style.
"Come on, just tell me now. Stop keeping me in suspense. It's driving me crazy." Tao Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and urged Li Mingsheng.
"Ah? I thought you all knew it, so I deliberately didn't say it clearly, thinking that everyone would understand." Li Mingsheng scratched his head and replied.
Chen Jianmin glanced at him with disdain: "Few people can understand your train of thought. Stop talking nonsense quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, we will have to gather together soon."
"They're just CP fans. They were just trying to save someone, but suddenly a bunch of CP fans show up. Isn't that scary? The pure friendship has been tainted with something it shouldn't be... Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"
"This one's great, let's save it." Yu Xiang was looking at Jiang Ci's phone with him. He was mid-pointing Jiang Shan when he heard Li Mingsheng calling him and looked up. "Ask him to save a photo, what's wrong?"
"Why are you reacting so calmly? Are you not scared at all?" Li Mingsheng looked at Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang in disbelief, as they acted as if nothing had happened.
Yu Xiang was confused and asked, "Is this scary? Isn't this normal?"
Li Mingsheng: "Normal?!"
"You don't understand this, don't you? They say the innocent are innocent. A person with integrity fears no slander, so they act so calmly." Chen Jianmin walked up, patted Li Mingsheng on the shoulder, and said slowly, "Alright, alright. Now everyone knows you're a straight man. You won't tolerate even the slightest bit of crookedness."
"Go away, you are the only one who is educated."
"Actually, not really..." Yu Xiang was just about to explain to them the true relationship between him and Jiang Ci when the assembly whistle sounded.
Several people looked at each other in silence for several seconds.
Tao Yu: "Li Mingsheng, didn't you say there were still ten minutes left before the meeting time? Isn't your ten minutes a bit too short?"
Li Mingsheng: "How should I know? I heard it from the guy in the next dormitory. He lied about military intelligence!"
Chen Jianmin rolled his eyes. "Don't dwell on who lied about military intelligence at this point. If you're late, you'll be punished by the instructor again!"
"Then I have to go to the gathering first." Yu Xiang turned and said to Jiang Ci.
"Yeah. I'll contact you later."
After Yu Xiang left, Jiang Ci also returned to his class team, fulfilled his promise, and helped organize their class's physical examination.
The busy day passed quickly. After the evening training, the freshmen from both schools dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory to rest.
Yu Xiang was the first to wash his hair and take a shower, and then he curled up in his bed playing with his cell phone.
Shortly after the college entrance examination, he and Zhang Miao created a small group. Jiang Ci was also in it, and the four of them would chat in it from time to time.
However, school has just started and there are a lot of things going on, so this group has been quiet for several days, and it didn't "come alive" until that evening.
Zhang Miao: How was your military training? Was it tough?
Fang Chengyu: Are you sick?
Zhang Miao: Lao Fang, why are you scolding me for no reason?
Fang Chengyu: I'm scolding you. What nonsense are you talking about here in the middle of the night? Is military training hard?
Zhang Miao: Yes, it’s not hard if I don’t have to train.
Fang Chengyu sent three contemptuous emoticons in a row.
Zhang Miao: Why isn't Yu Ge talking? Could he be having so much fun with his new roommates that he's forgotten about us? @小鱼
Zhang Miao: Lao Fang, are we finally going to become Yu Ge’s past? (tears)
